"
Yes
,
that
's
the
chief
thing
,
"
said
Gania
,
helping
the
general
out
of
his
difficulties
again
,
and
curling
his
lips
in
an
envenomed
smile
,
which
he
did
not
attempt
to
conceal
.
He
gazed
with
his
fevered
eyes
straight
into
those
of
the
general
,
as
though
he
were
anxious
that
the
latter
might
read
his
thoughts
.
292
The
general
grew
purple
with
anger
.
293
"
Yes
,
of
course
it
is
the
chief
thing
!
"
he
cried
,
looking
sharply
at
Gania
.
"
What
a
very
curious
man
you
are
,
Gania
!
You
actually
seem
to
be
glad
to
hear
of
this
millionaire
fellow
's
arrival
--
just
as
though
you
wished
for
an
excuse
to
get
out
of
the
whole
thing
.
This
is
an
affair
in
which
you
ought
to
act
honestly
with
both
sides
,
and
give
due
warning
,
to
avoid
compromising
others
.
But
,
even
now
,
there
is
still
time
.
Do
you
understand
me
?
I
wish
to
know
whether
you
desire
this
arrangement
or
whether
you
do
not
?
If
not
,
say
so
,
--
and
--
and
welcome
!
No
one
is
trying
to
force
you
into
the
snare
,
Gavrila
Ardalionovitch
,
if
you
see
a
snare
in
the
matter
,
at
least
.

"
I
do
desire
it
,
"
murmured
Gania
,
softly
but
firmly
,
lowering
his
eyes
;
and
he
relapsed
into
gloomy
silence
.
295
The
general
was
satisfied
.
He
had
excited
himself
,
and
was
evidently
now
regretting
that
he
had
gone
so
far
.
He
turned
to
the
prince
,
and
suddenly
the
disagreeable
thought
of
the
latter
's
presence
struck
him
,
and
the
certainty
that
he
must
have
heard
every
word
of
the
conversation
.
But
he
felt
at
ease
in
another
moment
;
it
only
needed
one
glance
at
the
prince
to
see
that
in
that
quarter
there
was
nothing
to
fear
.
296
"
Oh
!
"
cried
the
general
,
catching
sight
of
the
prince
's
specimen
of
caligraphy
,
which
the
latter
had
now
handed
him
for
inspection
.
297
"
Why
,
this
is
simply
beautiful
;
look
at
that
,
Gania
,
there
's
real
talent
there
!

On
a
sheet
of
thick
writing-paper
the
prince
had
written
in
medieval
characters
the
legend
:
299
"
The
gentle
Abbot
Pafnute
signed
this
.
"
300
"
There
,
"
explained
the
prince
,
with
great
delight
and
animation
,
"
there
,
that
's
the
abbot
's
real
signature
--
from
a
manuscript
of
the
fourteenth
century
.
All
these
old
abbots
and
bishops
used
to
write
most
beautifully
,
with
such
taste
and
so
much
care
and
diligence
.
Have
you
no
copy
of
Pogodin
,
general
?
If
you
had
one
I
could
show
you
another
type
.
Stop
a
bit
--
here
you
have
the
large
round
writing
common
in
France
during
the
eighteenth
century
.
Some
of
the
letters
are
shaped
quite
differently
from
those
now
in
use
.
It
was
the
writing
current
then
,
and
employed
by
public
writers
generally
.
I
copied
this
from
one
of
them
,
and
you
can
see
how
good
it
is
.
Look
at
the
well-rounded
a
and
d.
I
have
tried
to
translate
the
French
character
into
the
Russian
letters
--
a
difficult
thing
to
do
,
but
I
think
I
have
succeeded
fairly
.
Here
is
a
fine
sentence
,
written
in
a
good
,
original
hand
--
'
Zeal
triumphs
over
all
.
'
That
is
the
script
of
the
Russian
War
Office
.
That
is
how
official
documents
addressed
to
important
personages
should
be
written
.
The
letters
are
round
,
the
type
black
,
and
the
style
somewhat
remarkable
.
A
stylist
would
not
allow
these
ornaments
,
or
attempts
at
flourishes
--
just
look
at
these
unfinished
tails
!
--
but
it
has
distinction
and
really
depicts
the
soul
of
the
writer
.
